Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side
I took a day off work today to work on my other project a 2004 Big Bear venom. Had to change the front BDL pulley, top triple tree and prep skins for paint. I hope to have it painted by the weekend. My friend is going to air brush some real flames in blue on the tank and front fender.

The wheels are all the same 20x8.5s. They fix great no problem with clearance front or rear. The only problem is if you are running stock rotor the center cap will not fit without some work. I think boss was working on a fix but not share. Read this thread it’s not the same wheel but the same problem. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=352320&page=2

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side
My dream is to one day cut my rear diff down 3 inches and get a set of billet 20x12s. So I’m building my tubs 4 inches deep to fit my dream wheels.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side
Clean up the bed rail edges and falsed the bed floor 3''. I started the body work on bed. This is the first time I’ve done body work and I’d rather turns wrenches. LOL!! Got my new tail gate and it fits like ****. It was not assembled so I’m going to have to cut all the welds out and straighten it.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side
A little update from the past couple of weeks. The bed is sealed and primed. When I got the tailgate it was assembled crooked so I had to cut all the welds out of the tailgate and reassemble it. It fits much better now. When I put the tailgate on the bed I found a little problem. The bed is all square now and the tailgate is round… damn I should have seen it coming. To square up the tailgate I think I will build a little spoiler not fast and furious but like the new ford 150 trucks..

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side
Thanks Cheby
Im going to redo it or just add some more. Thinking about carrying the spoiler from the tailgate onto the bed sides. Matching the angels on the bed side and running the spoiler across the entire rear end. Should have it done by Friday.
